Photoluminescent Exit Marking Systems

...for emergency evacuations in darkness, smoke and crowds.

Our line of photoluminescent products provides all the marking systems and signage needed to comply with the nation’s most demanding codes and standards for photoluminescent exit path markings. ZERO photoluminescent signs and marking systems satisfy New York City’s Building Code Standard RS 6-1/1A to facilitate safe emergency exits during building evacuations when power and back-up power systems have failed.

The NYC standard calls for photoluminescence both in directional signs pointing to exits and in markings showing outlines of egress paths, stairs, handrails and obstacles. These signs and markings must be placed close to the floor to allow visibility in smoke and crowded, as well as dark, conditions. Mandated signs and markings are required in both new and existing high-rises.

Additional signs identifying intermediate and final exit doors for mounting on either doors or adjacent walls.

MEA-approved photoluminescent products available.

All ZERO marking systems and signs feature aluminum backing and/or foam tape for superior adhesion to brick and other uneven surfaces found in many buildings. This backing system consistently outperforms typical vinyl materials, which are best applied to smooth, clean surfaces. Our marking systems can also be mechanically fastened, if preferred.
